Command line interface for python-broadlink
===========================================

This is a command line interface for the python-broadlink API.


Requirements
------------
You need to install the module first:
```
pip3 install broadlink
```

Installation
-----------
Download "broadlink_cli" and "broadlink_discovery".


Programs
--------
* broadlink_discovery: Discover Broadlink devices connected to the local network.

* broadlink_cli: Send commands and query the Broadlink device.


Device specification formats
----------------------------

Using separate parameters for each information:
```
broadlink_cli --type 0x2712 --host 1.1.1.1 --mac aaaaaaaaaa --temp
```

Using all parameters as a single argument:
```
broadlink_cli --device "0x2712 1.1.1.1 aaaaaaaaaa" --temp
```

Using file with parameters:
```
broadlink_cli --device @BEDROOM.device --temp
```
This is prefered as the configuration is stored in a file and you can change
it later to point to a different device.
